No, they could have shipped a product on android, or they could have used secure RCS, or several other things.

FaceTime is not really true either. This was a convenient mistruth. There were several way to remedy that situation.

Also your misremembering iMessage there was no such issue.

What word did they not back up with respect to iMessage? When did they ever say they'd open it up?

It's not Apple's fault that the carriers/RCS/Google don't know how to make messaging work. RCS sucks, it pales in comparison to anything but SMS.
